As for moving in with his brother and sister in law? Bit too clingy much?

Harry has NOT moved in with his brother and sister in law. He moved to Kensignton palace but has his own self-contained flat in a different area of the palace grounds! A lot of other members of the royal family also live at Kensington Palace, but they all have their own flats. They're neighbours but they don't live together.

I don't think Harry would get Clarence House. It is too much for a third-in-line. Historically it was the house of minor royals. It was first used by the Duke of Edinburgh (Queen Victoria's second son Alfred) and later the Duke of Connaught (Queen Victoria's third son Arthur), but since the late 1940s it was used as the residence of the heir (then-Princess Elizabeth, Prince Charles) and widows of a reigning king (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother). I remember reading that Prince Charles & Diana would eventually move into Clarence House after the Queen Mother's death, and that's why they didn't mind their Kensington Palace apartment.

I think Harry should just reside at Kensington Palace. Eventually the apartments of the Duke of Kent, the Michaels of Kents, and the Duke of Gloucester will be available and they would be good enough for the son of a monarch.

I honestly hope that the Cambridges don't move out of Kensington Palace when Charles succeeds. It just seems like so much of a waste to renovated one of the grandest apartments and then move out.

I just don't see it - Harry the organic farmer; Jamie Oliver stops by to get some zucchini!

I forget sometimes that Highgrove isn't just a house, but a farm as well.

Maybe when Charles becomes king Highgrove will stay with the Duchy of Cornwall, continue to be an organic farm, and ceased to being a private residence for the current Duke of Cornwall, but a public house that could be toured or rented.

There is no reason Harry couldn't live at Highgrove and someone manage the farm. I doubt Charles does much of the actual labour he just oversees what is done. It would have a manager etc already so there is no reason it couldn't go on with Harry living in the house. He could rent it or maybe he will buy his own place when he get's married? William is taken care off but I don't see Harry as ever being homeless there are plenty of places he could probably have. Kate and William may not want to move from KP when Charles becomes King and Harry might get Clarence House. The Queen is at Windsor a lot more these days and it works so Charles could do the same thing BP is said to be not as homely and as long as everything get's done does anyone really care if they are at BP?

Hasn't it been established, though, that Highgrove is part of the Duchy of Cornwall? I would assume that would mean it's not Charles' to give to his sons as he pleases, it goes with the other Duchy estates to the new Duke of Cornwall, which would be William.

But that wouldn't stop William leasing it to Harry

I was trying to say that even though Clarence House was used for minor royals in the past, ever since the late 1940s it has only been used by high-ranking members of the royal family (a heiress presumptive, a dowager queen, and a Prince of Wales).

So yes, even though Clarence House used to be residences for minor royals, times have changed. Now the Queen's children (besides the Prince of Wales) don't have huge residences in the city, like they would have in Queen Victoria's time. They have apartments at Buckingham Palace, and their main residences are their country estates.

Here is my guess as to how the property re-alignment might take place once Charles is King:

> William & Catherine move to Clarence House as their principal London home. Their country homes become Anmer Hall and Highgrove. They also get Birkhall to use when visiting Scotland

> Harry moves to W&C's KP apartment and rets another property to the West of London: either on the Windsor estate or possibly the home the Duchy did up in Herefordshire. This will allow William and Harry to have homes that are not too far apart. Once William is King, Harry may get Anmer as well.
